Norway named best mountain camping destination
Original source: Reishonger

Norway has been named the best destination for mountain camping due to its rugged nature, excellent roads, and freedom to stay close to nature. The country offers well-developed infrastructure for motorhome travelers, including campsites, service points for water and waste. Popular routes include the Geirangerfjord (a UNESCO World Heritage site), the Trollstigen mountain road with eleven hairpin bends, and the Lofoten Islands. Travelers are advised to account for long distances, limited shops and fuel stations in remote areas, and changeable mountain weather.

The author shares their experience of a campervan trip to the Lofoten Islands (Norway) during summer. Key observations include stunning landscapes with white beaches and black mountains, and the midnight sun phenomenon. However, issues with overtourism, especially in the southern part (Reine and Å areas), and a shortage of wild camping spots due to the high number of motorhomes are noted. The author recommends choosing small campsites, avoiding peak locations, and hiking at night.

The Dutch camper club NKC advises against storing camper vans during winter. The club has selected six nature areas, including the Amsterdam Water Supply Dunes and Weerribben-Wieden National Park, which are particularly suitable for winter camping. Overnight stays are permitted in these areas, with facilities like Camping het Lierderholt remaining open throughout the season.

A study by rental company Lotus Car Rental has ranked Bulgaria as the best European country for a motorhome road trip. The assessment was based on low fuel prices, tolerance for wild camping, low traffic density, and scenic variety. Georgia and Romania also made the top five, while France and Germany scored highly on infrastructure but poorly on cost and wild camping freedom.
